THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

26 Oct 09 – (Excerpts) - The Earth has been cooling since 1998 and
it is getting demonstrably cooler almost everywhere in the world. The
cooling will continue for decades.

So it follows that the best way to be a complete jerk is to have your
book, “Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming”, published
at the same time that a recent Public Strategies Inc/Politico poll
revealed that “Just four percent (4%) ranked climate change as the top
issue."

If the congressional election—-next year’s midterms—-were held today the
economy would be the top issue (45%), followed by insane government
spending (21%)

James Hoggan, the cofounder of DeSmogBlog, along with Richard Littlemore
are the proud authors of what has to be the silliest book of the year.
It actually has a blurb on the back cover from Leonardo DeCaprio, famed
actor and, until now, an unknown meteorological savant.

Hoggan’s preface begins by saying, “This is a story of betrayal, a story
of selfishness, greed, and irresponsibility on an epic scale. In its
darkest chapters, it’s a story of deceit, of poisoning public
judgment—of an anti-democratic attack on our political structure and a
strategic undermining of the journalistic watchdogs who keep our social
institutions honest.”

From Hoggan’s description I thought he was talking about the huge global
warming hoax that has been foisted on the world’s population by the
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Al Gore,
countless feckless politicians, grant-seeking scientists, and so-called
environmental organizations.

But no, Hoggan is talking about “an organized campaign, largely financed
by the coal and oil industries, to make us think that climate science
was somehow still controversial, (that) climate change still unproven.”

Oh wait, it turns out that the President of the United States, speaking
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was critical of the
“naysayers” who “make cynical claims” that ignore the alleged scientific
evidence about greenhouse gas, i.e., carbon dioxide, emissions.

Move over Hoggan, it turns out that Obama is as big a jerk as you.

Obama has been touting “clean energy” technologies such as solar and
wind that are so wanting in practicality and dependability that only
government requirements keep these providers of barely one percent of
all electricity in business.

As part of the stimulus and the horrid Cap-and-Trade bill lingering a
slow death in Congress, billions of taxpayer dollars would go to “clean
energy” companies while the Obama administration wages an economic war
on coal and oil companies, denies permits to mine coal, the opportunity
to drill for oil in Alaska or in 85% of the nation’s continental shelf.

Oh, those terrible human beings who want a standard of living that
includes electric lights, television sets, computers, air conditioners,
automobiles, and a dinner that does not require burning animal dung to
cook.
